Didn't exactly know if I should make a new thread for it or not but anyone else heard about them releasing a console version for the Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings?

Having never played the Witcher, I wanted to see what the general feedback on that game was. From what I saw of trailers and stuff, when the PC version was being released, it looked pretty fucking fantastic.

“When I was a fighting man, the kettle-drums they beat;The people scattered gold-dust before my horse’s feet;But now I am a great king, the people hound my trackWith poison in my wine-cup, and daggers at my back.”

This new short animation from the game company tells you exactly what happened in Witcher 1, and even if you know what happened, it'll make you want to play Witcher 2 again!

I really liked the first Witcher, the ridiculous amounts of player-gratifying softcore porn notwithstanding. It's really refreshing and Zalanthan to have "racism" and prejudice depicted in a pre-modern society. Something distinctly lacking from a lot of games.

When I finished Witcher 1 I wanted to jump straight back in to work the plot through again. (And to play the antihero this time.) A game that really grabbed me from the start. Funny funny random NPC chat.

All the world will be your enemy. When they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you; digger, listener, runner, Prince with the swift warning. Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.
